Note: This GWL (Restricted to service) is based on the application for the QLD licence – only certain states across Australia recognise this licence. The ACT and NT will recognise either the QLD GWL (restricted to service) or the qualification and in states that do not have an equivalent Gas service Licence system like SA,WA, TAS and VIC they may or may not recognise.
